New film makes its first premiere EVER at Savannah Film Fest

Well my predictions for the Director's Choice film were way off!! By now we all know it was "The Muppets". And it was definitely a fun and enjoyable film. Not to mention, we were the first audience in the WORLD to ever see the movie, starring Jason Segal and Amy Adams. That definitely erases any initial disappointments I had.

Sort of feels like we were apart of history as we witnessed the revival of Jim Henson's "The Muppets". And indirectly, the surprise film stayed true to the week's theme of classic story and film.

"The Muppets" follows young Walter, a muppet voiced by Peter Linz, as he tries to restore the famous Muppets who have since parted ways. But the original gang is reunited with the help of Walter and his friends, played by Jason Segel and Amy Adams, to raise $10 million in order to save their Muppet studio from a businessman who wants to tear it down and drill for oil instead.

Of course the only way to raise that kind of cash is to put on a grand reunion show!

Searching for the muppets, is the most enjoyable part of the film as Walter and his friends go on a "where-are-they-now" adventure to recover the old stars. Fittingly, Kermit the Frog is retired and living in luxurious comfort in his Los Angeles mansion. Miss Piggy is fashion-editor for Vogue Paris. And my favorite muppet, Fozzie Bear, performs with a Muppets tribute band called the Moopets!

The Muppets is filled with a lot of musical numbers, both old and new, and an array of celebrity appearances, both old and new, which gives this classic group of adorable and versatile characters a new-age hilarity.
